The Gippsland Pinot Noir is a blend of all the new and grafted vines from the Avon Vineyard, showcasing three Pinot Noir clones; MV6, Abel, and 114. This wine is crafted as our expression of a “village” Pinot Noir, a true representation of the broader Gippsland region and the diversity within the site. The fruit was hand-picked into 15kg baskets, hand-sorted, and gently destemmed into fermenters. 

Fermentation lasted around 20 days, followed by pressing and maturation in large-format oak, specifically 1800L foudres for 10 months. The wine was racked in January and bottled in February 2026, resulting in a Pinot Noir that’s vibrant, approachable, and distinctly Gippsland.
